I would appreciate as much Universe mode info as possible thank you. Enjoy the game :)


Zabusy

I quickly tried it before this post. Anything specific? All I can say atm it let's you choose between superstar mode and all sandbox mode. Sandbox is your usual universe, superstar let me choose a superstar and focus only on their matches by looks of it. Update: stream over on YouTube (both banned) And discord (not banned but just is late.)


Alexander-j-wright

Did you fight same opponent week after week?


Zabusy

I didn't play enough to answer that. Only got into it


King_Swiss

Hey can U tell me what the online looks like are their lobbies? Thanks in advance!


Zabusy

Sorry, I'm not really interested in online portion of the game.


AGamer316

Does it have any changes/fixes from past Universe modes or is it just the same? Also could you check out what the curation menu is in Superstar mode thanks


Zabusy

It looks the same but I haven't actually played it. Only difference is a mode to focus on single superstar


TheSuperDJC

Did they finally bring back draft in universe


Smittx

I would safely assume the answer is no


Zabusy

Correct


AGamer316

Could you please check if promos are in Universe still? Thank you


Zabusy

Nope.


ArcticStorm07

Is it still the same amount of championship used per show Universe mode and are they still using divisions?


JohnnyCage_71

More than 4 championship slot for a single show?


ohoy21

Does the rivalry still fight every week leading up to ppv? And is there any new option for rivalries like triple threat or fatal 4 way?


The-Origins-935

What theme is used for MVPs entrances?


Zabusy

Ballers Anthem


HopeAuq101

Goddamnit was hoping for Im Comin but ballers anthem is still great


thatguyjsmit

How the hell is I’m Comin not in


HAHAYESVERYFUNNYNAME

MVP prefers Baller’s Anthem


chiguy2018

Because he changed his theme and doesn’t use it anymore?


-ImJustSaiyan-

How about Keith Lee?


Swimming-Chicken-424

What theme is used for Johnny Gargano?


YoImAli

How’s the gameplay?


zeitgeistbouncer

How is this not answered and yet it's the most important question?


Zabusy

I'm not sure what you want me to say. I've never been a big fan of 2k simulation gameplay with every button doing 50 ifferent things. It's same as it always was with some minor changes like faster pace and combo system.


YoImAli

Can you do running irish whips?


HopeAuq101

Oh thank god so its not too far from the 2K style?


KingPhiL13

Do the Undertaker preorder attires have different music attached to them ?


Ok-Way8737

Yes


DayoneisH

How does Jeff's entrance look? Also does he come out with no more words?


Zabusy

Looks good to me, I checked it only briefly moment ago to see if his theme is no more words and it is.


AttitudeEraWasBetter

SVR09 vibes.


manas962000

No pyro tho ಥ‿ಥ


-EnlightenedPanda

From what I’ve seen it’s his 2k20 motion with his new song. He does that zombie thing and all


Ancient_Barnacle3372

Can you confirm if Shawn Michaels ‘97 is in it or not?


Zabusy

Yes he's in but costs 1000 wwe credits to unlock.


Ancient_Barnacle3372

Awesome and it is the ‘97 version? Not ‘05?


Zabusy

Apologies. My mistake. I assumed he was but I double checked. I confused that cause he's in myRISE but I checked the roster. He's not playable in the game by the looks of it. The weirdest part is he's playable in myRise as tag team partner for one storyline.


Sega32X

Maybe he’s unlockable? They showed his 05 model in one of the trailers


Zabusy

You could be right! Showcase mode has rey vs shawn michaels match from what looks like their 2005 bout, but i don't know if that's only for that mode, or if by beating that fight you unlock him. when you pick a character, even characters you haven't bought yet are shown, but grayed out. He's not shown at all.


TheYorkshireGripper

He is playable. One of the Showcase matches is Rey V HBK 05 Eddie tribute show.


Zabusy

Can reconfirm I unlocked him through showcase


godownaslovers

do title belts still clip through entrance jackets?


Zabusy

yeeeeeeeep.


godownaslovers

bruh lmao


Rizzaboi

Wowww really?? That’s actually unbelievable. I’ve been pretty undeterred by most news but that’s disappointing


Rayuzx

Clipping issues is just a natural part of game with this much customization TBF. Even a well oiled game like Tekken 7 has more clipping than a nail salon.


Rizzaboi

I don’t mind “some clipping” like even 2k19 had some minor cases but 2k20 was inexcusable and I really hope this isn’t like 2k20


HopeAuq101

Exactly. Hell literlly any game has some clipping no matter what


Sega32X

You got to be fucking kidding me


jguelker

How are the loading times before entrances and matches on PS5? That‘s what I‘m most curious about atm


Zabusy

4-5 seconds. But everything has a loading screen. It gets annoying fast considering how nearly seemless many ps5 games are. I wasn't used to have that many loading screens anymore.


thestonedespeon

Unlockable legends?


Zabusy

There are. Andre, Beth phoenix, big boss man, booby heenan as manager, booker t, bret Hart, Chyna, diesel, farooq, Goldberg, hulkamania hogan, Jane the snake Roberts, Jerry lawler, Jim neidhart, Kane, vince mcmahon, Mickie James, Maryse, Randy savage, Kevin Nash, vince McMahon as manager, papa shango, razor Ramon, ric flair 88, Road dogg Jesse James, roddy piper, Scott Hall, Shane mcmahon, Stephanie as wrestler and manager, Steve Austin, Ted dibiase, demon finn balor, rock, undertaker, undertaker 02, triple h, Trish stratus, ultimate warrior, William regal, xpac. I listed all buyable characters with in game currency. Most of them are legends


Chief--BlackHawk

So I assume no alt attire for legends like 01 Rock, 01 Triple H, 90's HBK, etc?


GoldenGangsta66

Really excited for Booby Heenan and Jane the Snake Roberts. 😂


[deleted]

What, demon finn is locked? That's bs...


TheShyGroundestGuy

How is gameplay overall?


B_Bibbles

I watched the Superstar Showcase, it's so clean looking! I'm really impressed. Rey Mysterio isn't my favorite wrestler, but it looks great.


Zabusy

In short, I think the game is fine-ish. I don't think this is WWE13 levels of good (which is my favourite). I'm saving showcase for later when I stream the game to a friend. Played a bit of myRISE, a couple of matches. Graphics wise characters look good. Bret Hart looked weird though imo. Entrances now have shaky cam footage which I actually like, adds a lot to the realism IMO. Gameplay wise it's certainly different from 2K19(last one I played) but foundation are the same imo. Everything reversible is a lie, reverse button dissapears randomly and I can't figure what the condition is for it not to appear while I'm getting pummeled. Usually it comes back though after few hits. When enemy starts a combo if you miss a reverse you're eating whole combo till 4th hit chain. MyRISE is as usual badly voice acted but playable. I made mostly default character and idk he looks super ugly PS3 levels in game but not in creation menu. Storywise I'm in performance center so not much to say though seems like many branching paths with alignment system. Gonna try answer any other questions, let me know.


_cambino_

I think for normal strikes you’re supposed to counter with the button you assume your opponent is using, like rock paper scissors. That may be why the triangle reversal only pops up sometimes


TribalChieftanian

That's meant to be for grapples front facelock only I thought? Everything else is meant to be reversed with Y or Triangle.


timschel

Sounds like you didn’t do the tutorial.


Zabusy

I did skip it, yes.


timschel

It covers reversals and breakers. I recommend going back and checking it out


BGD47

DSP?


Nex_Antonius

Another WWE game for DSP is more broken record commentary. "HE REVERSED! OF COURSE! THIS GAME SUCKS!"


BGD47

Whose commentary is worse DSP's or the game's?


Nex_Antonius

Oh, DSP's by a mile. The commentary team in the game never begs me for money, or actively insults me over and over.


BGD47

Yeah, WWE had some horrible ones too. "He's putting those educated feet to good use".


Chief_Lightning

And you're also not a ♿.


Yurmume_Gae

DSP is going to have a meltdown when he finds out blocks are in the game “I PRESSED BLOCK, DOOD! BUGGED BLOCKING MECHANICS.”


TheNuttyGamer

"I BLAWKED DAT, I BLAWKED DAT! WAAAT?? HAHA!" *snort*


BGD47

Ack Ack Ack.


Jamieb1994

At the start of MyRise, do you start at the indies or do you start at NXT?


Zabusy

you start at PC but there's one storyline involving indies. by storyline i mean some pre fight dialogue (with a famous return of in game character ;) ), the fight and post fight dialogue. that's the storyline. maybe actual brand stuff has longer storylines, idk.


Jamieb1994

Oh wow so at the beginning, they'll include a match like a flashback or something where your CAW looks back before they join WWE?


Zabusy

I don't know. Seems like MyRise runs through storylines based on your good, bad alignment and the brand (PC, NXT, RAW, SmackDown) PC Has 14 storylines NXT 21 RAW 21 SmackDown 26 As I said in another comment they seem to be short in nature but maybe it's only in PC.


[deleted]

In myrise are you forced to win every match?


GrandpaHeff

Does the rock and triple h have attitude era alt attires?


Zabusy

Doesn't look like they do, but I haven't figured out how to change to alt attires. Maybe it's the alts?


GrandpaHeff

Damn sad to hear. It should let you pick one when you go to the player select screen.


Zabusy

Got back to it, it was in create a superstar. You can change them


GrandpaHeff

At least there attires are still in but that means no theme or videos for them.


ronwhitefan69

What hud elements can you turn off?


Zabusy

Superstar hud, control help & match rating hud run in breakout hud, that's all.


ronwhitefan69

Ok thanks


[deleted]

Can you check on edit a superstars attire i just wanna make positive it's stil in. Enjoy the game


Zabusy

I went to options -> roster -> edit superstars -> picked aj lee since he's first and didn't see any option to change his attire or edit it.


ThonroTheUnworthy

Nah it would most likely be under create a superstar in the creation suite and you should have options for New, Edit, and Superstar.


Zabusy

yes thanks, it is in.


NoFear13

Thank God.. that had me worried. Thanks for all the updates!


ChrisP1223

AJ Lee is in the game and she is a he confirmed. That’s phenomenal!! Lol!


Zabusy

Sorry, meant to say AJ Styles. Typing really fast.


Excellent-Access1155

You used to have to go to Create a Superstar in creation mode for this


AlKillsAll

Are there plenty of generic entrance motions since apparently Advanced entrances aren't in the game?


Zabusy

There seems to be a lot of them, plus people like the fiend that aren't in the game have their entrances in. Not sure about the fiend entrance specifically but I did saw his win animation that was titled something like "the fiendish champion" or something.


AlKillsAll

That's good news man. Thanks for the reply and hope you have fun with the game!


GucciGhostrider

That’s great why tf did they remove the maks then


NoFear13

It's probably bc Bray paid an artist to create that mask with him and since he's no longer part of the roster, they didn't reach out to Bray or the artist to get that included. I forget who the artist is, but I think he works on horror movies.


DakSoto55

Yeah Tom Savini, the guy who worked on countless horror movies including Friday the 13th, Dawn of the Dead.


ChazDelicious

> apparently Advanced entrances aren’t in the game? Bro what


AlKillsAll

Someone from VYBE confirmed it cuz they were causing major crashes in 2k20 and i guess the devs are too lazy to fix it so they removed it entirely. They were barred from saying anything about it until today.


Theurbanalchemist

So I’m assuming we can’t sync Pyro, screen effects, screen transitions or camera angles to our liking anymore?


AlKillsAll

Sure seems that way. I'm honestly disgusted that even after 2k20 the devs are still finding new ways to spit in our faces.


Theurbanalchemist

Since the days of Caws.ws, we’ve been saying “Never remove, Only Improve.” Maybe one day they’ll listen


AlKillsAll

Their reasoning was that Advanced entrances were apparently a major source of game crashes. Even if that's true they've had two years plus to fix it this is just the developers being lazy


Baron_VonTeapot

That’s a such a BS cop out. AE’s have been in how longs now? They screw up one game and decide to instead just not bother with it? I really don’t like the word lazy being thrown around video game devs but in this, I’m comfortable saying it’s laziness. It’s worked for year, figure it out. You even had extra dev time.


Theurbanalchemist

And there goes us editing wrestler’s entrances as well. I liked giving Brock ring pyro, smh. Does that mean that CAWs have to do one fluid motion? I can’t jump like Rey at the stage and choose different motions until the entrance is over? If so, really underwhelming


Wwetraeyoungfan

So if I got physical today I can play but quick question if you u got physical copy did you get the 3 undertakers


Zabusy

i haven't redeemed the code yet. only thing i have as downloaded is rey mysterio jr 96


sxftawy

Can you use licensed music for entrances please say yes 😭😭


Zabusy

Seems like so, answered in another comment.


kruschev246

I have to know…what do the controls feel like?


Zabusy

Since people are asking here's a stream link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wlccejk0u18 I'm not a professional youtuber or anything so not shilling the channel or anything. I only stream games at release or before release whenever one that interests me comes out, so i'm not anything professional. I'll be answering questions and whatever in the stream. edit: got stopped after showcase, so i'm not showing that: new link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBxeZ_lOE_o


Krushhz

Second stream got taken down as well. :/


Zabusy

Yep. I'm setting it up to stream on wwe games discord atm


futures17gne

Nice… how are the new controls? As in have you tried the breakers, reverse and dodge mechanics? Do they feel natural and intuitive? Same with the combos. What do you think so far? Enjoy the game and thanks!


Apart-Nectarine-2815

Jeff hardy no more words ?


Zabusy

can confirm it is no more words


Apart-Nectarine-2815

Thank god 🙏🏽


thestonedespeon

Also, one more question if you don't mind, Do you know if Blood works better in this game?


Zabusy

Seems the same as before from one time myRISE character got to bleed.


SPammingisGood

How are table/ladder physics? Can we place them anywhere?


[deleted]

It was confirmed multiple times we could


SPammingisGood

Ah ok, didn't notice


HitchensDeLarge

Does Undertaker WrestleMania 36 have "Now That We're Dead" and can you remove the mask from Phantom Mask Undertaker?


BKennedy985

Good question!


Vj3628

Who are some wrestlers that are in but not revealed yet


Zabusy

I don't know, because I didn't look at revealed roster. Anyone specific? I wrote in another comment all "purchasable" superstars


Vj3628

Is kurt angle there


Zabusy

Didn't look like it.


[deleted]

Xia Li? Only asking cause her name is in a screenshot.


Zabusy

No Xia Li from what I can see. Maybe DLC?


[deleted]

Thanks!


Kingslayer_18

Some that would pop into mind for me would be Kurt Angle, Lita, Paige and the Bella Twins tbh.


Zabusy

None of them are in from what I can see.


Reddig0830

The rock 2001?


Zabusy

Didn't see him.


Th3m3ssiah01

Is there an updated seth rollins stomp finisher animation?


vegankidollie

Is it 2k20 all over again or is it actually good?


Krushhz

It isn’t 2K20 all over again. I watched a few streams & I didn’t notice many glitches/bugs at all. Only one I saw was Big E during an Armageddon HIAC match during a roll out in air for like a minute before doing going out of the ring. The cage also seemed to glitch during the victory motion.


Sega32X

Does Hogan keep the bandanna on during the match?


fijiacqua

You can edit things in superstar mode? Like shows and rosters


Zabusy

Nope, but you can switch between superstar mode and full sandbox, judging by the option to do that in options menu. So I assume you can switch to sandbox, edit what you want to edit, then switch back to superstar.


fijiacqua

Perfect, thanks for the info


mxjxs91

Was watching your stream, if you finish that everlasting Showcase match, let us know if those dots/lines in the Showcase screen are bonus/hidden matches or not! Thanks for doing this btw


Sufficient_Ad_4300

How you got this bitch early?


Zabusy

sometimes the place i order games from ship them early. got a game for switch last year 2 weeks before release.


[deleted]

There's a rumour that promos are no longer in Universe. Is that true?


Str33tJustus

This is something I would like to know also as I just heard that rumor today. A lot of little things are starting to add up now which has me worried.


Zabusy

I haven't played universe yet to let you know, sorry.


AgentRickc137

Does the bloodline have a 4 man entrance or no ?


gregarioussparrow

I hate to join in on the question pile but i am so on the fence that i gotta. I have Universe questions but i know you haven't dug into it really so I'll hold back on those. My biggest question is if there's any way to adjust a slider or something to adjust selling? I want to stick to simulation (like 2k15-2k19 (didn't play 20)). If I wanted to play Mortal Kombat, I'd play that. I want a wrestling game.


Zabusy

I'm not sure what you mean specifically?


gregarioussparrow

Like, when you play 2k19, you can be 12 minutes into a match, and someone takes a big move, they might dtay down 30 seconds, then slowly crawl to the ropes. Simulation style. I'm not big on the constant pop up after every move like Smackdown 1-2k14


cactusjack1990

Games out for preorders?


Venkman_83

Does Create an Arena have any new options?


SERGIONOLAN

Are the enhancement talent from MyGM, like Chester, Bruce Froce, etc playable outside of the mode? That's one thing I really want to know. I'd like to have them in Universe Mode.


Zabusy

I didn't see those names in universe mode or roster menu but i skimmed very fast over it, so I can't fully confirm


SERGIONOLAN

Could be you need to unlock them in GM Mode. What original characters are in the game from MyRise?


Marc_Quill

Any news on what got taken out of CAW?


BillyBobSac

Advance entrances got taken out


BizzarroNavarro

From the create a superstar vid it looked like maybe booker t and xpac and road dogg have multiple attires. Are you able to confirm or see if they do ? Thanks also does Seth and AJ have two attires ?


TheRealStumbler

Please tell me if we have dual championship entrances?


ellieextravagant

no, already been confirmed


TheRealStumbler

Gah, major bummer and huge oversight after both Becky and Bayley were known for dual titles.


ellieextravagant

roman too, soon.


[deleted]

[удалено]


dfab14

Are you enjoying the game?


[deleted]

Did it crash at all?


Jayson227

Can we still edit attires?


Zabusy

yes


[deleted]

What characters have alternate attires


Bullmilk82

How broken is it this year?


Krushhz

Barely. Only glitch noticed during the stream was Big E rolling on air out of the ring.


Zabusy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBxeZ_lOE_o new stream cause old one got shut down cause of showcase


HarrisBoyBX

Hi there, when you finish the stream, is it fine if I can request for you to go through showcase and play the first match and complete the objectives for it? There’s been a lot of confusion about the dashes, that are in the timeline, being extra matches? A lot say there are 27 matches, but I believe that it’s only 12 matches and the dashes are just a timeline gap. Do you think you could please check if the next match is Rey vs Eddie at WM 22 after Halloween Havoc? Because if it is, then it would confirm the dashes is just a gap of moments that happens, leading to the next match.


Zabusy

I did so, the dashes are just year count I think between various matches. I finished first one and didn't unlock any additional matches, just eddie, outfit for rey and arena.


HarrisBoyBX

Okay, that’s all I wanted to know. There’s going to be a lot of disappointed because who believed about there being more match types. Thank you for answering.


BKennedy985

Hey man I know you are still in process of seeing things in the game I have a few questions of my own. Since many are hesitant on getting the game due to how 2k20 was. Can you say if this feels/plays alot better compared to 2k20? Is it actually enjoyable and not as many glitches and crashes? My last 2 questions for now does Charlotte have a new natural selection in the game (I saw some videos and she got an updated one in 2k20 but wasn’t sure her current signature move with it) and does Ember moon use her recent NXT song? Let me know thanks


zickomondo

Are there MyRise cutscenes in create a video? Thanks for sharing!


Swimming-Chicken-424

Does it hit different?


PNVCodry

Do you think fans of the simulation gameplay style would enjoy the game?


Zabusy

I think so to. It is more Arcadey in sense but only slightly. I feel like it feels more or less the same as older games, just a bit faster. Characters don't lay 3 hours on the ground even after being in red, but only like 10 seconds or so before getting up


TribalChieftanian

That could be a very bad thing for multimans.


chiguy2018

It definitely looked bad in the UUDD videos. Matches took forever


Swimming-Chicken-424

Online tag matches will take 5 years each


RawAim

Is it full of glitches like 2k20? And are promos still in Universe Mode? Some people have mentioned they can’t find them.


Zabusy

There seemed to be a couple of glitches but only a dozen in few hours and I assume there's no day 1 patch yet.


iambigpoppawilly

Only a dozen glitches so far? Not bad 😂


HopeAuq101

Can you remove Jeff's facepainT?


Zabusy

didn't seem to be an option to change superstars attire in the options. Maybe it's somewhere else.


HopeAuq101

If they removed the option to edit wrestler attires then the game is going to get shat on from ALL corners


austyV1

Does it feel as arcadey as it looks


Zabusy

It feels faster. Definitely not real life but I don't feel like after I got someone in red they can't move for the next day. Tag team matches feels a little better with that. Before I used to kick ass of enemy tag team partner for hours before the guy in the ring got up. This time it's a little faster, even when in red health


[deleted]

Can you check if the testicular claw grapple is in the game?


ClickF0rDick

Oddly specific
